In this session, we will try our hand at solving the "How to return a column with different name in Laravel".

Sometimes you have to get the column of the table with a different name. In that case you can use as in the select to get the column with a different column name.
  • Return a column with different name in Laravel using Eloquent Query Builder

    $users = DB::table('users')->select('name', 'email as user_email')->get();
    dd($users);
    

    Output:

    ^ Illuminate\Support\Collection {#1437 ▼
      #items: array:15 [
        0 => {#1438 ▼
          +"name": "summer"
          +"user_email": "john@example.com"
        }
        1 => {#1441 ▶}
        2 => {#1442 ▶}
        3 => {#1443 ▶}
        4 => {#1444 ▶}
        5 => {#1445 ▶}
        6 => {#1446 ▶}
        7 => {#1447 ▶}
        8 => {#1448 ▶}
        9 => {#1449 ▶}
        10 => {#1450 ▶}
        11 => {#1451 ▶}
        12 => {#1452 ▶}
        13 => {#1453 ▶}
        14 => {#1454 ▶}
      ]
    }

    It will return the records from the users table with column email as user_email. Output may varies. In may case i have 15 records in my users table which return name and email as user_email after using this code snippet.
